[[File:Intermodal train 01.jpg|thumb|{{convert|40|ft|m|adj=on}} containers on the [[BNSF Railway|BNSF]] line through [[La Crosse, Wisconsin|La Crosse]]]]
When carried by rail, containers may be carried on a [[Flatcar#Spine car|spine car]], [[flatcar]], or [[well car]]s. The latter are specially designed for container transport, and can accommodate [[Double-stack rail transport|double-stacked containers]]. However, the [[loading gauge]] of a rail system may restrict the modes and types of container shipment. The smaller loading gauges often found in European railroads will only accommodate single-stacked containers. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, there are sections of the rail network through which high-cube containers cannot pass, or can pass through only on well cars. On the other hand, [[Indian Railways]] runs double-stacked containers on flatcars under [[25 kV AC railway electrification|25 kV]] [[Overhead line|overhead electrical wires]]. The wires must be at least {{convert|7.45|m|ftin|order=flip}} above the track. [[China Railway]] also runs double-stacked containers under overhead wires, but must use well cars to do so, since the wires are only {{convert|6.6|m|ftin|order=flip}} above the track.<ref>{{cite web | last = Raghvendra | first = Rao | title = Rlys reaches higher, sets world record | work = The Indian Express | date = 26 August 2008 | url = http://www.indianexpress.com/news/rlys-reaches-higher-sets-world-record/353263/0 | access-date = 4 November 2009}}</ref>
